Thankful for...

...My Elders...

Last week it was my grandpa's birthday, so I gave him a call to see how he was doing and he was surprised to get my call {which would explain why he screened my call} and happy to talk to me. Near the end of our conversation he said "I'm thrilled that you called because the younger generation doesn't have time for us old folks". That made me really sad! He has taught me so much and now he lives on his own and I don't call him as much as I should, so I am going to make a point to call him at least once a month from now on, because I know I care about him but I don't think I tell him that enough!

I also talked to the nicest man at the Memphis airport yesterday. He was also flying to Panama City and has lived there for 20 years... He lost his wife 8 years ago and I could tell by the way he talked about her I could tell that he loved her very much, and told me that if I ever found a man as good as his wife that I should hang onto him! He also told me how blessed he was to have such a great family. If I have half the love in my life that this man has had I will be one lucky girl!

...My Family...
I don't think I could love them more! I hung out and watched movies all day with my brother, took the dogs for a run, cooked with my mom, and joked around with my dad. They are pretty great and my life would suck without them!

...My Future...
I got an email while traveling yesterday that told me I was offered a second interview with LOCOG. If I got this job I would live in London for 18 months and have quite possibly the best experience of my life :) I'm beyond excited for what this could mean for my future, all I can do now is dazzle and wait :)

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
